Yet another example of Bargain Basement
A friend recently commented that she noticed a sudden emergence of couples formed in our school lately. While discussing about the compatibilty of the new couples formed, we wondered if the Girls A, B, C, D get together with Guys E, F, G, H be because girls A, B, C, D are afraid being left on the shelf as this is already their last year before they graduate. My friend said that it is most likely.
Then i was reminded of my old entry on the Bargain Basement. I am amazed at how the Discount Concept relates to our lives every now and then. A recent conversation that i had with Guy E on the msn convinced me of my friend's conclusion and the concept of girls giving guys discount.
*****************************************************************
Guy E: Hey how have u been?
[Msn picture of him and Girl A popped out]
Me: Very busy with sch work loh. Wah when did you get together with Girl A?
Guy E: Late August. During that time when i asked if i can jio you loh.
*****************************************************************
So when he was in the midst of getting together with his current gf, he was trying out other options as well.
-_-
I pity Girl A.
Girl A is a nice girl. Tall and pretty. But Guy E is just an average looking bloke with a nerdy specs, not very tall and a hairline that is receeding to the extend that people may call him uncle.
From a very diplomatic point of view, i would say that Guy E 'tan dio'. But alas, Guy E has the tendencies of a flamboyant playboy.
I'm not being superficial here but if you have read the entry on Bargain Basement, you will understand better. Girl A gave big discounts loh!
Of cos, i also hope that Girl A will not end up like the Sally in the entry of Bargain Basement la..
Before people accuse me of eating 'sour grapes' and being cynical about 'true love', i would like to clarify that no accusations are being made to all the newly formed couples out there. The above example is an observation made to illustrate a real life example of the Bargain Basement. For the newly formed couples that i mentioned, of cos there are some really compatible ones.
But seriously, i really wonder if the conclusion that my friend made about girls getting together with guys in our school cos it's already the third year is true.
Lately, a guy friend of mine commented that statistics showed that 1 out of 4 girls who did not managed to find their lifetime partners in the teritiary education will remain single for the rest of their lives. In layman terms, he was trying to say that out of 4 girls who are not attached in Uni, 1 will become a spinister la.
Then he pointed to the 3 girls in my group, and said," eh joey, see ar, now Jane* is attached, so you have 2 more chances."
Nabeh!
Dont ask me if the statistics are true and i dont know where he got it from.
So what if you managed to get attached to a Uni grad in your last year? Does it mean you've secured a lifetime husband? Confirm wont break up meh? I find the concept ridiculous.
As i let my imagination run wild, i cringed at the thought of Girl A and Guy E in intimacy. Ok ok, i shall stop being so superficial. Maybe it's really true love... hahaha..
So, let us all hope ???????! Hohoho...
